Originally from Invercargill I started teaching tap dancing at the age of 13 – needless to say I have been a tap tutor for a loooooong time. Residing in Hamilton for over 20 years now, I am married with two grown up children,still teach competition and NZAMD tap and work casually as a Receptionist at Braemar Hospital. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the weekend, and I look forward to watching you perform.

I have over 23 years of experience in all elements of dance. Commencing my love of dance at the early age of 5 for Glenda Turners School of Dance in Mangonui.

I have studied Modern Jazz, Tap, Lyrical and Contemporary dance and I became a Junior Teacher at the age of 14 for Northland School of Dance Dance under Tess Graham. I also danced with Susan Beau Dance School & SMAC. Studying exams in NZAMD and ISTD.

Since then, I have established the well-known dance studio Pulse in the Northland region, where I have taught dance and choreographed for the last 12 years. I have taken teams to Compete both nationally and internationally and love to grow, travel and experience with my students and performance groups.
My passion for dance is evident in each student that I have taught, I love guiding students to allow them to develop their craft.

I reside in the beautiful Ruakaka with my husband and our two children Darnika (11) and Kiwa (7). Where am also Racehorse trainer.
